NBA season - lets get retarded

[HollywoodJewMoses]

yeah they were mostly white.

i dont know what the fuck he is talking about.

and i dont even know what the fuck mad is saying, he should stick to things involving guns.

[TheGMANN]

Black rage at its best!

[HollywoodJewMoses]

what?

[TheGMANN]

Seriously though, Ron Artest should have never jumped over the scorers table into the stands. He shouldn't have laid down on the table like an asshole to begin with. He did it just to be an instigating little prick. Thats like eggin someone on. He is a paid professional athelete. You know what the deal is when you come into a hostile arena. He had every right to be pissed off. Some guy nails me in the head with a beer....yeah, its on. But he should have known better being who he is and what he does for a living. And then he says someone called him a nigger ??? Maybe yes....maybe no...but isnt that the first thing all balck people say the minute they get into any kind of skirmish ??

Artest told a family friend that he had been called the "N" word. "And then he said he was hit with a beer," the friend told the Daily News late last night. "He ran into the stands and started punching people. His clock went off. He just went blank."

[Keyser Soze]

its not right to attack fans, but fuck whats right, if i was in the same position, i would have defended myself.

artest and the rest of them were acting like assholes, but fans think they can do whatever the fuck they want to players and they wont react back. they think the players wont do anything because of fear of lawsuits or NBA sanctions or they think heck if they do attack me ill sue and be rich.

i think the fans should have some accoutability, the blame should not reside all on the players.

[Mad]

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

You're a professional, act like one.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

he is a human being before he is a professional.

[Keyser Soze]

fuck being a professional when people are attacking you, you have to defend yourself.

[Mad]

Of course you should always defend yourself when your life is in danger. I don't see how getting hit with a paper cup or two is life threating?

Security fucked up in letting the crowd get out of hand.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

if someone throws something at me, no matter how much of a skinny no chested jew i am, i will go after them.

[Sir O]

I can understand Artest wanting to go after the guy, but fuck...going into the stands to attack a fan is a line that should never ever EVER be crossed. Ever. Let security deal with his ass, arrest him and charge him with assault. By going into the stands all you're really doing is letting your team down BIG TIME because you know that will result in a huge suspension no matter who started it, and the Pacers without Artest are a lot worse than the Pacers with Artest.

If I were David Stern, I'd probably suspend Artest, O'Neal, and Jackson for the rest of the year. That's not to say the fans weren't total asshats though, the ones involved should never be allowed to attend another game in their lives...but all athletes know fans are dickheads and should be better prepared to deal with shit like this. Hell, when Rasheed Wallace, Derrick Coleman, and Rick Mahorn are the most levelheaded people involved in a situation, you know shit is fucked up...

[The Sleeper]

that would be awesome if they got suspended for the rest of the year cause i love dramatic endings to drama

[Sir O]

So you think that would be too harsh?

[Keyser Soze]

not gonna happen but would rock if it did

[Sir O]

They just said on<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3179442">http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3179442</a><!-- m -->

However, Ben Maller and Chris Landry of Fox Sports Radio have learned from Pistons play-by-play man Fred McLeod that the NBA plans to suspend Ron Artest for 30 games.

Additionally, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson will both get 20-game suspensions. Ben Wallace, on the other hand, will miss just five games.

I'll take that with a grain of salt, but if true, they're going really easy on the Pacers and too hard on Ben Wallace. I guess we'll find out tomorrow...

[Galt]

you all would defend yourself from beer? That warrants physical assault?

[HollywoodJewMoses]

i would probably throw something back at them. or at least a spitball.

[Galt]

an escalation of retribution for getting wather thrown on you is a wedgie

[HollywoodJewMoses]

remind me to throw beer at you if im ever in the same place as you.
